The first BMW M3... we could just stop here but the E30 was also the best looking '80s sedan with the coolest stance and an unforgettable DTM paint job that made our life very very easy... can you tell it's one of our favorites?
45 years ago, while the motorsport world's jaw collectively dropped, Tyrrell introduced the revolutionary "Project 34". One of F1's most bizarre and fascinating creations: the "Six-Wheeler" Tyrrell P34.
The Pink Pig *
The "Pig" was certainly not designed to be pretty even if it was a brilliant exercise in aerodynamics.
Initially set to make its debut in Martini livery, legend has it that after Count Rossi took a look at the unusually shaped racing car, he refused to let it race in the famous red and blue stripes.
Porsche then decided to go with the pink butcher-style livery to make sure it didn't go unnoticed at the race track.
Although it was a one-off experimental race car, the Porsche 917/20 "Pink Pig" (or Truffle Hunter) became a legend for its surprising participation at the 1971 Le Mans.
One of the original tartan patterns available for the 930's seat upholstery.First recorded around the year 1830, the MacLachlan Clan wore a red, blue and green variation of the Black Watch. In the original 930 catalogs, it was called Shottenkaro.
At some point, the sequence of events from the 1976 season made it unlikely that either Lauda or Hunt could be crowned champion.
Lauda, seemed effortlessly on course for his second title in a row, by winning five out of the first nine rounds.
Then came the infamous German Grand Prix, held at the so-called “Green Hell”. And hell it was for Lauda, as he inexplicably crashed at one of the easiest corners of the circuit. Brett Lunger couldn’t avoid a brutal collision with the Ferrari. Lauda’s helmet went flying, as his car burst into flames.

The Sauber Mercedes C9 was highly successful in the 1988 WSC, winning everything in the following season, including a 1-2 victory at Le Mans - although by then it was already painted silver. With only one C9 with the 'hi-tech' AEG livery left in existence, these socks are truly a chip off the old block!
